Hi there, I mostly release with game salad and they make the process of submitting to the app store really easy. I have never done it with Xcode. Is there a small tutorial on how to do this? Thanks :) Title Comments Hi there, I mostly release with game salad and they make the process of submitting to the app store really easy. I have never done it with Xcode.

What you need to publish your App: There are a few video within the Apple Developer website to the right once you click on iOS Provisioning Portal that talk about creating the App ID and Provisioning Profile I found them very helpful. You will also need to create your App within iTunesConnect.apple.com before being able to submit to the App Store. Here is some advice with adding your app to iTunesConnect have your 512x512 Icon image ready .jpg format as well as iPhone and iPad app screenshots ready to upload. Also, have your app description and keywords ready or you will not be able to complete the process. Also keywords are VERY important as this is mainly what is used for your APP to show when someone does a search in the App Store. You will need to change the Code Signing before you publish to the App Store to match the Provisioning profile you create for your app when getting it ready for Distribution. Here is how to change the Code Signing: Open Xcode and click on the Folder Icon to the left. Then click on the blue icon with your APP NAME just below the folder icon. Now a little to the right click on the blue project icon and click Build Settings scroll about halfway down and look for Code Signing Identity. This is probably set to Don't Code Sign you need to change this to YOUR App Provisioning Profile changing the first one should set all of them correctly. (If you don't have one it can be created at developer.apple.com I also do the same for the TARGET APP NAME just below the TARGET. Now AFTER all of this is complete I would recommend following this tutorial that I found and used when submitting to the App Store for the first time with Xcode 4.1 http://www.weston-fl.com/blog/?p=2442 Good Luck Comments Here is how to do it using Xcode 4.1.
